Looking at how much of an epic win the PS3 has become over the 3shitty, I'd guess it will be.

So I picked up a 250gb PS3 bundle with Little Big Planet and some Rachet and Crank(?) game for $348.99 at Costco. Is that a good deal or are there better deals out there?

Good deal unless you are a trade god at EB LOL.
They are offering $25 credit for each game you trade-in towards a console.
The games you trade in just needs have a $8+ trade in value.

I'd say good deal, the 250GB alone is worth $350, and LBP is an amazing game.

To the few of you with dead PS3's: I should be driving through Van (from Kelowna to Horseshoe Bay) on Tuesday and back either Tuesday night or Wednesday (if on Wednesday then possibly via Tsawassen). So if you'd like to set something up for me to pick up your console and repair it, and then either ship it back or something, PM me.

I still play MW2 but not as often anymore, spending too much time with the g/f haha. Mostly HCTDM again, was using Ground War to kill rewards :P



Yes PS3MS is good, but I have had it cut out on me. Although I'm not too sure you even know what you're talking about, I've run 1080p over wifi using a Sempron 3800, and the PS3 fast forwards at 1.5x, then jumps to 10x, there is no 2x option...

I typed that without having my PS3 sitting in front of me, so you'll have to excuse that i don't remember what speeds the PS3 fast forwards at :blushsmile:. My point still remains the same - You can't fast forward at the faster speeds (which is nothing new for those of us used to watching MKV rips on the PS3)

There are several reasons why yours might work, and mine didn't
1) You're using a low bitrate 1080p rip.
2) You reduced the transcoding and audio quality.

I have a ShuttleXP (AthlonXP 1.x GHz, 1GB Ram) which I tried streaming 1080p from and the only way to make it work with no stutter was with a the lowest transcoding quality and no multi-channel audio - Why you'd want that from a 1080p source is beyond me. However, 720p works fine with no quality sacrifices.

I have never experienced a disconnect, but then again, I'm wired in, and not using Wifi.

Requirements as per the readme.txt:

Requirements
============

A core 2 duo CPU (mine is a E6750, 2.66GHz) for smooth 1080p transcoding, but 720p seems to be transcodable with a good P4

few more days and that's it. :p

didnt even have chance to look at the RP on kingsway before they close. :(

underscore 07-26-2010 03:44 PM

@eclypz hmm might've been the audio then, my dad refuses to go to 5.1 so I set it for 2.0

Oh and I should add, if I stay on the Island for a day, I *may* be able to fix a few before coming back over, and drop them off right away.

This question actually applies to my cousin but I guess I should know about it since I'm planning on getting a PS3/360 in a month or so.

Is there anyway he can play his PS3 on his monitor? It has a DVI & VGA input

twitchyzero 07-26-2010 04:33 PM

HDCP...check if his monitor has it..if not he's sol
and if it cant support 1920x1080 res or higher it might look stretched...or even have ugly black bars

His monitor both supports 1920x1080 & is HDCP compliant. So is mine, luckily :D

Anyone?! :(

I talked to him earlier today and he didn't sound all that rushed.. I'm planning on getting a PS3 or XBOX360 (leaning on PS3) and I'm dying to know!!

terkan 07-29-2010 04:53 AM

hold on to the power button for 5sec until u here it beep twice and it should auto detect the output.. it's probably set to vga output atm that's why there's nothing showing =\

I don't get what you're asking. If it's HDCP compliant (you said yes) then it'll work...

terkan 07-29-2010 11:40 AM

oh wait you asking if u can play ps3 on ur monitor with dvi/vga input? yes get a hdmi to dvi cable

underscore 07-29-2010 12:15 PM

^ exactly. you'll need to hook the audio to something else tho (unless it goes through a reciever on the way to the screen), using the SD A/V cable you can get 2 channel out on the RCA's, just configure it to send the audio out that way in the settings.

Can't wait for NHL 11 :). You guys hear about EA packaging a slimmed down version of NBA Jam on for ps3 and xbox that comes only with NBA Elite (NBA Live's new name)? :lol so sad because they know that 2k11 with jordan is going to kill them so they're doing whatever they can to sell elite. So many people are pissed that they're doing this and they claim that this will be the only way for people to get their hands on NBA Jam for ps3 and xbox. I'll just wait and see it on psn in 6 months time
